Game Notes

EDM
?Koskinen (16-14-4, 2.78 GAA, .909 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
?Since mid-December Koskinen is 5-11-3 with a 3.35 GAA and .892 Sv%. Among the 17 goalies who have played at least 20 games since Dec. 15th he ranks 17th in wins, 17th in GAA, and 17th in Sv%
?McDavid is returning from a 2-game suspension for an illegal check to the head. Who knows what he'll do next to get out of playing for the Oilers

TOR
?Andersen (29-13-3, 2.60 GAA, .922 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Babcock's tendency is to play Andersen in the 1st game of a B2B. It'll be interesting to see if Babs will save Andersen for a playoff-type atmosphere game against another top Eastern conference team on Thursday
?Gardiner missed practice on Tuesday and it seems like he's still having lingering back issues. Babcock commented that it's been limiting his game lately. Against Buffalo he played a season-low 16:30

Injuries

?Jujhar Khaira - Lower Body - Injured Reserve ?Jesse Puljujarvi - Lower Body - Injured Reserve​

?Nazem Kadri - Concussion - Day to day ?Jake Gardiner - Back - Questionable Wednesday​

Nobody cares about this game.  The Oilers should just go ahead and forfeit to allow us to focus on the Thurs/Isles.

Watch out for that headhunter McDavid

I wish they'd throw Holl in occasionally.

 

[Bill_Berg]

All I care about is who is going to get booed in this game. And where is the fan video?

Sparks has good numbers against AHL teams.  He should probably start this one.

LOL, the Oilers would be the team that said "no" on a Larsson for Nylander deal?  Man...

That... doesn't sound good.

Oz goes in for him, Andersen starts.

Remember when Nicholson said there must be something in the water.... well, the writers seem to drink way too much of that water.

WE I WANT HOLL

Rielly - Dermott
Muzzin - Zaitsev (I actually think Muzzin might be unlocking Z powers)
Hainsey - Holl

That said, Holl probably gets the second game on the Island.

Alas, nor am I.

But that post from the EDM media was amusing indeed.

You guys are so uncultured, I can't believe you aren't aware of one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boona4-qLSE

This trumps every other funny thing you've ever posted, Carlton.

That doesn't sound great.  Or is this just Babcock being Babcock with his offhand comments and the media reading too much into what he said.

Thank you. This joke would have never been possible without the writers of the angry birds movie, and every single person in Edmonton. They're the real heroes.
